Thank You





Last night's Halloween Carnival was Sunflower's biggest ever. It was also a housewarming of sorts for the new Seeds building. Thank you to all of the families who ventured over to 10th Street for Halloween fun and games.

The party could not have been accomplished without the help of some important volunteers:

Thanks to Nicole and Sara for donating so much of their own time and money to decorate the space and provide prizes, games and a craft table. Thanks to Damien for manning the photo booth*, and to Thor for figuring out how to turn 40 plastic nap pallets into a preschool-sized maze. We appreciate Maile and her SuperHelper Lyell so much for decorating the Glow Room. Shout-out to my mother-in-law Grandma Sue for making enough chili to choke a goat. Jeremy stayed late to vacuum and otherwise clean up the aftermath in his insulated camouflage hunting outfit, and we love him for it. And thanks, of course, to Katie and Correy and the teachers at Seeds for allowing us to turn their peaceful learning environment into a place streamers go to die.

I know this word is overused, but it was so awesome to work with parents who've never before volunteered at an event, and to see new families who've just joined the Sunflower family at the party. As more families and friends step forward to volunteer, we're able to make our events bigger and better.

Thanks all!

-Brooke
